Several blogs on the internet posted info on the patent claimed by Apple on new touch screen capabilities and uses. It seems that somebody on digg noticed something else too and that is that Apple aren’t the only ones who are thinking about it. Even beter there already is a demo video showing off some of the capabilities. So what’s going on here? Is Apple nicking ideas or is NYU developing technologies for Apple? Who knows, they only thing I know is that I like what I’m seeing and I can’t wait until Apple does something with it. You can check out the video at http://mrl.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch

I normally wouldn’t publish about accessories on my blog, but for the ipod cases by C6 Manufacturing I’m making an exception. They have announced their carbon fiber case for Apple’s 5G iPod and for the iPod Nano. The $50 5G and $30 Nano case feature aerospace carbon fiber and aluminum construction with stainless steel screws. I just thought the cases looked really cool and deserved some attention from my part.
